India vs Australia, 4th ODI

Now it becomes a six match series with India trailing 1-2. Hopefully, there will be no rain in Cuttack on Saturday and we get a full game in. Until then take care, cheers, bye bye....

Dhoni: "It all depended on the kind of start we got. The first 15 overs would have been crucial. Shami bowled well and he was deceptive and he bowled well in the end as he got the yorkers right. They say catches win matches and it happens to your best fielders as well. With five fielders inside the circle, I have not taken the risk of bowling Raina. It was not turning much on the previous wickets. He bowled knowing his limitations. The weather is not under our control, we are a bit disappointed. We would have not minded playing a 20-over game as we had got off to a good start. Let's hope it goes well in Cuttack."

Bailey: "It was going to be another good game of cricket. I got a couple of help from the fielders. Maxwell was outstanding and he made my job easier. He cleared the boundaries easily and he was under pressure as he had more time to spend at the crease today. Its really important to be ahead in the series. We will go to Cuttack and try to get a game in."

The changes made by the Indian team of getting Shami and Unadkat worked for them as one kept it tight and the other kept getting wickets. Shami was really impressive, he bowled fast and was accurate in his line and length. Something the pacers have been barely able to do so far in the series.

Rain has the final say and the match has been abandoned. The match was set-up for a nice finish before the rain gods intervened. The Aussies were put into bat and lost early wickets and it was their skipper Bailey, who got them off trouble with a fine 98, he is looking better and better with each game. He was well supported by a matured Maxwell who mixed caution with aggression for his 92. Both were involved in a record 5th wicket partnership of 153. The Indian bowlers, started off well thanks to Shami who picked up three quick wickets and the bowlers came back well in the end to restrict them to 295. At one stage they were well set to get 320 to 330. The fielding was below par today by the Indians as they dropped as many as six catches.

20:42 Local Time, 15:12 GMT, 20:42 IST: The match has been abandoned. The umpires had an inspection at 20:35 Local Time and decided to call off the match. The cut-off was at 21:10 Local Time to start the match but the outfield was wet and there was no chance to start within that time.

Welcome back for the run chase. Australia have done well to put up a good total on the board after losing early wickets. It will be exciting to see how India go about in the chase. The players are out in the centre. Here we go with the first ball....

Mitchell Johnson and James Faulkner hung around for a while but it was India all the way as they restricted the visitors to under 300. Will the drops cost India or will the poor finish hurt the Aussies? We will find out when the chase begins at 17:55 IST.

17:20 Local Time, 11:50 GMT, 17:20 IST: Excellent recovery from Australia. They looked down and out at one stage when they were reduced to 32/3, thanks to a fine exhibition of swing bowling from Shami. Bailey and Maxwell though fought back for the visitors with a record 5th wicket stand. The pair added 153 runs for the 5th wicket. Both had huge slices of luck. Bailey was dropped on 0 and 35 while Maxwell was let-off on 69. The pair made the Indians pay for the mistakes. The batting PP changed the equation once again, Vinay Kumar, who was ordinary in his first spell struck twice to dismiss both batsmen. Jadeja got rid of Haddin, and it looked like Australia would fall well short.

49.6 Mohammed Shami to Faulkner, 2 runs, that makes it six drops for the Indians, this was a tough one though to Dhawan. Another yorker attempted by Shami, ends up offering a low full toss, Faulkner was looking to go back over the bowler, ends up slicing it towards extra cover. Dhawan came racing across, dives full length but only manages to get his finger-tips on that. Australia end up with 295.

49.5 Mohammed Shami to Faulkner, 2 runs, another excellent yorker from Shami, full and on the stumps. Faulkner digs it out towards mid-on, the lack of pace on the ball allows them to get back for the second run

49.4 Mohammed Shami to Clint McKay, 1 run, much better from Shami, follows the short ball with a yorker, McKay looks to drive, gets an inside edge that rolls away towards the on-side

49.3 Mohammed Shami to Clint McKay, FOUR, too short from Shami, McKay rocks back and pulls it in front of square, bounces once and races away to the fence for a boundary

49.2 Mohammed Shami to Faulkner, 1 run, full and outside off, Faulkner gets forward and drives it towards long off for a single

49.1 Mohammed Shami to Faulkner, 2 runs, Shami keeps it full and follows Faulkner as he backed away, he looks to go over mid-wicket, gets an inside edge as the ball rolls away towards the off-side, the batsmen look to sneak in for a single, Faulkner gets there despite Shami making a direct hit, they get another run as the ball deflects away

Mohammed Shami [7.0-1-30-3] is back into the attack

Chance for a run-out, the 3rd umpire is being called but Faulkner was well in

Just one man in the deep in the off-side, long off it is

48.6 Ashwin to Clint McKay, 2 runs, flighted and on the pads, McKay gets down on his knees and sweeps it over square leg for a brace. Just 5 runs from the over though

Clint McKay, right handed bat, comes to the crease

48.5 Ashwin to Mitchell Johnson, out Stumped!! Excellent bowling from Ashwin, Johnson was coming down the track.

47.2 Ravindra Jadeja to Mitchell Johnson, 1 run, India's catching has been a shambles today! This was tossed up and held its line on off, Johnson was looking to go over mid-wicket, gets a top edge that went high and towards mid-wicket. Raina circled around the ball, never looked like he was going to take the catch, drops it and fails to grab on the 2nd attempt as well

Glenn Maxwell lbw b Vinay Kumar 92(77) [4s-6 6s-5]

This was a good length delivery nipping back in, Finch was playing for the away going delivery, he is late to get his bat down in time as the ball goes through to hit the top of off-stump.

The players are out in the middle. We are all set for a cracker of a contest. Hopefully, the rain stays away and we get a full game. Unadkat to start proceedings. Here we go for the first ball....

Pitch Report: "It looks like a good surface. There are some cracks and an even distribution of grass. The new ball will be crucial on this wicket", says Matthew Hayden.

Bailey: "We would have bowled first as well. It is good to be 2-1 up in the series. But still lot of cricket to be played. The conditions look overcast. We are playing the same team."

Dhoni: "We have not won the last 3 tosses. It is a crucial toss to win. We will be fielding as it may rain. If it remains like this there will be no dew. We were down in the last game but still got to 300. The bowlers bowled well apart from the last 4 overs. We have two changes as Bhuvi and Ishant make way for Shami and Unadkat."

India have won the toss and have opted to field

The Indian batting, is still struggling to face the bounce and pace of the Australian bowlers. They were in trouble in the last match at 78 for 4 until Dhoni came in and rescued them with a superb unbeaten 139. The bowlers bowled well at the start and in the middle and had them reeling at 213 for 6. But Voges and Faulkner kept their head down and attacked at the right time and targetted the fast bowlers to take them home.

Hello and welcome to the fourth ODI being played in Ranchi. Australia lead the series 2-1 after they scraped through in the last match. They were down and nobody expected them to win until the Ishant Sharma over, where he conceded 30 runs and handed the match to them. It has been such a series, where in all three matches the team batting first has scored more than 300 runs and out of that twice the teams have chased it down. The Indian bowlers have to be more consistent while bowling in the death. Dhoni has lent his support for the bowlers and its about time that they back him up. Toss and teams in a few minutes....

The Preview

Bogged down by the profligacy of their bowlers, especially Ishant Sharma, India would be under pressure to bounce back when they take on Australia in the fourth ODI in Ranchi tomorrow, hoping to tide over their death bowling miseries. Trailing 1-2 after the loss in the third ODI in Mohali, India who retained the same eleven in the first three matches may be forced to tinker with the bowling line-up which has failed to live upto expectations.

Defending a huge target of 304, India were on course for a comfortable win in the third one-dayer at Mohali with 44 needed from the last three overs, but a wayward Ishant leaked 30 runs in the 48th over with James Faulkner smashing four sixes and a four to turn the match in Australia's favour.

Introduction of two new balls, coupled with change in field restriction with fielders in the deep being reduced to four from five, has hit the Indian camp as the pacers are struggling to cope with the alteration of rules. Known for their lack of pace and swing, Indian pacers rely more on reverse swing on the flat pitches after the ball becomes old but the new rule has unsettled the hosts badly. While batsmen have been in top form, it's the bowlers who have conceded 300-plus runs in all the three ODIs with poor spells in the death overs, something that would be the team management's main concern.

Ishant and R Vinay Kumar have been expensive with both conceding seven-plus runs per over but the latter has at least been amongst the wickets and that might go in his favour. At 5.37, the third pacer, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, has been 'economical'. After the disgraceful 48th over in Mohali, Ishant may not retain his place in the team and could be replaced by left-arm medium pacer Jayadev Unadkat, who is expected to bring some variety to the monotonous pace attack.

With the JSCA Stadium in Dhurwa in the outskirts of Ranchi giving some hints for spin assistance, leg-spinner Amit Mishra might be included in the playing XI. All-rounder Ravindra Jadeja, who had match-winning figures of 3/19 against England in the last ODI here nine months ago, would be all excited to be back at his favourite ground.

As for the batsmen, the new ODI rules are helping them revel on flat Indian pitches, making a mockery of the bowlers. An astounding 1864 runs came from the six innings and the Indian young guns - Shikhar Dhawan, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli - chased down 360 inside 44 overs in the second ODI in Jaipur to prove that no target was safe.

In Mohali, India had a middle order collapse to slump to 76/4 and were tottering at 154/6 before Dhoni's masterly 139 not out from 121 balls ensured another 300-plus total. Ranchi, however, saw a low-scoring total (155 all out) with England struggling against the Indian slower bowlers in the last match here. Hence, it would be interesting to see what this venue has to offer to the teams this time when 300 has become the norm.

Three Indian batsmen have scored a century each so far. Rohit hit his first hundred at Jaipur since 2010, while Virat Kohli is in ominous form with two half-centuries and a hundred. Dhoni has also scored a valuable ton. The batting looks more or less settled with almost everyone in the top and middle order having contributed to the team's cause. Comeback man Yuvraj Singh, however, has been silent after his fiery 77 not out in the one-off T20I in Rajkot and the stylish left-hander would be keen to be back among runs.

Australians have so far shown that they are all up for the Indian challenge, and come tomorrow they would be keen to extend their lead. Thanks to the T20 League, the Aussies have looked at ease against the Indian bowling. In Aaron Finch and Phillip Hughes, they have an attacking opening combination that has given them fine starts till now, while the middle and lower order also looked in good nick. India would be wary of Aussie batting, especially after Faulkner's 29-ball 64 not out at No. 8 position in Mohali.

Australia have also proved to be a better bowling unit and barring the exception in Jaipur, the pacers have been economical with Mitchell Johnson, who grabbed 4/46 in Mohali, leading the pack. With sheer pace and bounce, the likes of Johnson and Shane Watson have lived up to the challenges. Aussie T20 skipper George Bailey, who is leading the side in absence of an injured Michael Clarke, is revelling in the new role and has emerged as the highest run-scorer (220 runs) so far in the series. With a calm approach, Bailey who had also captained Australia in the the Champions Trophy and the recent bilateral series against Sri Lanka, has made an impression.
